Long weekend. That included a cough that could kill, pink eye, a sore throat, a great TSO show, an attempt to grab taco bell drunk but they had a 30 minute wait (seriously, a wait people), the kids unbuckled in the car so we could drive slowly thru neighborhood to see lights, and a trip to the playground.
I did not clean my house and it annoys me. But we had all of the above plus I started a new book that is impossible to put down. Looks like I will be cleaning thru out the week.

I spent the weekend canning all the things— homemade apple butter, sweet potato butter, Clementine jam and spicy pickled carrots and radishes. Plus I️ made Swedish Chokladboller and vegan, gluten free rum balls. I️ need to make another batch of regular rum balls too.
But, I️ got through a massive amount of apples, carrots, sweet potatoes and radishes that I️ had from my CSA, plus, some of these are going to be Christmas gifts.

Busy weekend of baking and celebrating. Hoping to get the house in order today while DD is at school! Thankfully S gave me a decent night of sleep, so I'm as well rested as I ever am. Not a ton going on this week, thankfully. I love having a fairly restful holiday season, since growing up, it was always very busy and rushed.
I took pics of both boys this past Friday, and actually got some decent ones, so I'm gonna awe a couple. Sorrynotsorry Poof

Sounds yummy coconutbacon! I've never heard of sweet potato butter, but it sounds great! Apple butter is my favorite pancake topping ...I may have to make some now!

Nothing like starting the work week with a good puke in the bathroom first thing Monday morning at school. Ugh. This baby girl is killing me here.
I feel like crap but luckily my students are da bomb and I can totally just be blah and they will do what I tell them and still be productive. I majorly won the lottery with my students this semester, I will be sad to see them go at the end of January!

Some neighbors came through the neighborhood caroling last night. We took the kids outside and sat on the front porch. My kids loved it so much that the group stayed extra long at our house because my kids were clapping and cheering for them after each song. It brought some wonderful holiday spirit to the season. At bedtime when I asked Abigail what made her happy today, she smiled and said "the singing". So cute.

I would really rather not talk about it. lol. It's the reason why I avoid NYC at all costs in the month of December. Delays, traffic, crowds, and crazy people everywhere. We didn't get to do too much because it just took FOREVER to get around and then I ended up yelling at some girl on the train because she was being obnoxious AF blasting her phone music at midnight when all I wanted to do was sleep on the train ride home. Cranky party of 1 right here.

Heading to the grocery store with no clear meal plan in hand. This should be interesting.

They swapped me, I went to the bathroom and had just sat in the waiting room when they called be back to say it was positive.
